book and show are both great, though I felt RDJ was the weakest link (as much as I liked the basic idea of all the characters he played representing the various modes of Western imperialism). Show also did well in fixing some of the iffy-er parts of the book eg the main character’s relationship with Lana, which came across as weirdly creepy and inappropriate in the novel
